How is the Ride and Handling?

While the best way to see for yourself how any vehicle handles is to take a test drive, we believe the Edge will impress you with its agility and handling. It is installed with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, so it has plenty of power. Swift acceleration gives you a rush as you start out but is also paired with a very smooth and calming drive experience. Ford also took care in the design to provide stability and comfort to effortlessly navigate corners or imperfect road surfaces.

Options Available on the 2022 Ford Edge SE

New for the 2022 Edge is the ability to add on a Black Appearance Package to your SE. This provides you with:

Technological Innovations

The Ford Edge SE is packed with modern technological conveniences! As soon as you get inside you see the large 12-inch color touchscreen display in the center console. This is essentially a built-in tablet for your vehicle and connects seamlessly to your smartphone through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Using the Ford Sync4A system you can have access to voice recognition abilities, SiriusXM, cloud-based connectivity, and even built in navigation software.

Ford has also created FordPass Connect to provide you with on-the-go Wi-Fi through AT&T. Yes, you can actually make your Ford Edge SE a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot that is accessible up to 50 feet outside the vehicle. What better way to enjoy camping trips than being able to do a web search to easily answer that question everyone is arguing about at the campfire?

An App for That

With all the technology built into the Edge, it’s really no surprise that Ford also has an app that can keep everything in the palm of your hand. The free FordPass App can connect to your 2022 Edge SE through the FordPass Connect software. With the FordPass App, your smartphone can provide you with many complementary features such as being able to start/stop your vehicle, lock or unlock the doors, schedule when the Edge should start, locate your vehicle (hello parking garage), and more. Plus, you can use it to check status updates on your vehicle for maintenance, fuel level, oil life, and even get reward points for vehicle service and maintenance. These points can be redeemed towards buying or leasing a new Ford, or even for service, parts, or accessories at your Ford dealership.

Space For Everything

SUVs need to be able to hold plenty of stuff. That is one of the best features of an SUV after all - the space they provide! Unlike some other medium sized SUV options on the market today, the Ford Edge is designed to only have two rows of seats rather than three. This not only provides passengers with a plenty of spacious room to stretch out but offers a lot more storage space as well! 39.2 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row to be exact. In fact, Car & Driver tested the cargo space of the Edge and found that it was able to fit a whopping 29 carry-on suitcases in the back with the rear seats folded. The Edge also has a lot of storage cubbies throughout the interior to help you stay organized and keep everything you need close at hand.
